The Yoga Way

Once in A'nanda Nagar (World Headquaters of Ananda Marga near Bokaro on the way to Ranchi via train), Baba passed a group of us waiting for Him at His house. He asked us, “how are you?”. We replied, “Fine, thank you.” Baba said, “Only ‘fine’? You are not dancing with ecstasy and throbbing with energy?”.

Baba is the supreme optimist. He has the most positive view of human life, human lives, our lives, that anyone could possibly have. That is one of the reasons I Love Him so much, because His only desire is to bring out the most positive, perfect aspect of ‘my’ being.

That is why this path, this sadhana that we are doing, this sadhana that Baba gave, is called Ananda Marga – the Path of Bliss. The concept is based on one of supreme positivity, that everything in the universe came of out Bliss and Benevolence (Cosmic Love), originated in Bliss, and that everyone, everything, every atom of the universe, is in a Cosmic cycle and will eventually return to that state of Bliss once more.

I am in love with this concept. That God is love and we are love and we are moving along a path of perfect love.
